Event Details

Water Missions International hosts its annual 3.5-mile walk through downtown, inviting participants to carry a bucket filled with water to symbolize the trek that women and children make each day in developing countries to fetch water. The event is held in observance of World Water Day, which the United Nations declared to draw attention to and take action against the critical lack of clean, safe drinking water around the world. Enjoy family-friendly activities, refreshments, and entertainment in Cannon Park in conjunction with a closing ceremony at the end of the walk. Cannon Park, 129 Rutledge Ave. Saturday, 8am registration; 9am walk. $10. (866)769-7395, www.watermissions.org
